18 inches away or so. Wondering if the intensity of the light bleached it rather than heat. as the led is cool

364 watts of LED power. So strong turns weed white.
So on a serious note. Will i die if i smoke white bud? lol. Im assuming that's it's still good to go.

I'll wait another week I guess before harvesting

never seen a bleached bud before, looks nifty but makes me wonder about cannabinoid content being bleached out as well. would this be the case?

^Definitely.

And it's not ready to harvest yet...you should wait until all the hairs are no longer white milky color...
hair color has nothing to do with harvest time. some strains will turn red at 3-4 weeks while some will not turn that much. trichs are the indicator of harvest time.

Yep, it ruins them. Only the the affected area. That is a first for me to hear about LED bleaching... Wow! They're a little more intense that I thought.

Nice buds! Happy harvesting!

that is light bleach, a perfect example.
I agree and we are 100% correct on the diagnosis. I have the problem myself having bought too large of an LED for what I was doing...the tips of the white widows all got it because they outgrew the other specie's colas and this is what they did exactly. Move your light away from the plants or bend them nastards to where they aren't so close ;)

When this happens to the buds, they lose their potency and the white part of the bud becomes junk... although it may look great. Sorry it sucks but the stuff that is green will make up for it ;)

I only feel the need to answer seriously because you said on a serious note. No, you will not die. No one has ever died of smoking any kind of weed, be it white, purple, or green. The only way smoking bleached weed could kill you is if it was bleached with actual bleach. Don't smoke bleach. But if you don't want your glittery white buds, I'd always be happy to take them off your hands for you. bongsmilie
